Hey guys,

Saw this stuff at the dealer today and wondered if anyone has used it before? I picked up a bottle and will be trying it after I fill my tank tonight, but I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with it?

I personally think that using Shell gas does the trick, however I loved the link posted and who ever caught this fuel additive thing is really smart.

That was COOOL

yeah I bought one to try, I figured it couldn't hurt and I'm having a bit of an issue with starting. Sometimes my car turns over for like 4-5 seconds before it catches and I'm thinking maybe its an issue with my injectors, so we will see if the additive does anything to fix this.
